Are there any 3rd party addins that you recommend? The Exchange 2000 server
predates either myself or the IT director, and I don't see anything on the
server itself that would indicate what addins are present. Thanks!

There are no changes in functionality. That's the way it's always been in
Outlook unless you are using a 3rd party addin to allow reminders in other
folders. Even then the hard-coded warning that the reminder won't appear
is still there for appointments and tasks, it's hard-coded and can't be
removed.
Outlook 2007 does allow reminders in a folder under Calendar for example,
but that's the first version that does so.

We have just performed a migration from an old Windows 2000 Active
Directory domain with an Exchange 2000 server to a new Windows 2003
Active Directory domain with an Exchange 2003 server. EXMERGE was used
to migrate mail between the two servers (they're different forests).
One of my users is wondering why she is unable to set a reminder in a
calendar she's created. On the old server she had her normal Outlook
Calendar, and she had a sub-calendar called Scheduling Calendar
underneath it.
Previously when creating an appointment in the Scheduling Calendar she
was able to set a reminder for the appointment with no problem.
On the new server she created this calendar again, however when she
checks the Reminder box and goes to save the appointment she gets the
following error box:
"The reminder for "test appointment" will not appear because the item is
not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?"
Creating reminders for items in the normal Outlook Calendar or in her
Tasks works fine, but not in this user-created calendar.
Is there something special that needs to be done with the calendar? Or
is this a difference between Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003? I exported
the calendar from the old server and imported it into the user's mailbox
but that didn't make any difference (and I didn't expect it to; just a
stab in the dark).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
